What y'all think of a Woman wearing a Niqab? Do you think women feel oppressed? What are your thoughts on it?

Question

Kawaiigurl1234 · Accepted Answer

I think that if a woman wants to wear it because SHE wants to, she has every right to. Although I do not like the overall concept of religion (the main reason women wear it), I respect a person’s right to practice it. That is as long as it isn’t forced. I see in certain countries women being forced to wear them or else they recieve physical abuse from men. To sum this up, I think if a woman wears a hijab or whatever headpiece because SHE wants to. I have no problem. However, I do have a problem if someone whether it be a family member, the government, etc. forcing her to wear it.

I've had Muslim female friends who didn't wear those, nor did they wear hijab, so maybe its all preference. If they do it because they want to, then fine. If they do it to please their family or they think their obligated to, then I feel bad that they can't experience what its like to not be subjected to that. As a girl who loves my body cause I worked hard for it, I could imagine having to always hide it. But to each their own

I've known a couple women who decided to wear it later in life for whatever reasons, but most I hear about don't really want to wear it like that. I have one friend who used to be Christian too, then she reverted a few years ago and recently she's been talking to me about wearing full face cover also.

If a woman wears Niqab willingly, it is OK, otherwise oppression.

oddwaffle · Accepted Answer

They can wear whatever they want. If they think going ninja is cool then that's okay. If they think going with one if those president mask is cool then that's okay too. Even gas mask is okay.

However, that won't make them look friendly. I mean, I would certainly feel threatened if a lady pull out a clown mask and put it on in bank. I would certainly mistake her for a bank robber.

So everyone can wear face cover but they better remove it when required and understand that hidden faces make people nervous around them.

A woman like a diamond must protect her beautiful by a Niqab

N2thing · Answer

I think it´s cultural made up bullshit. Nowhere in the religion is stated that a woman should cover her face. In fact, the face is considered important due to it´s expressions and identity.
However, I think everyone should have the freedom to wear whatever they want. It just bothers me that this is the general image of a Muslim woman while it´s absolutely not. It´s associated with terrorism and extremism as well which I understand.

Brokenheartedx · Answer

If it wasn’t about oppression, then how come the men don’t wear it?

I assume they wear it to cover the bruises...
Were in the western world is it acceptable to walk about like a binbag? Those are desert clothes to keep the sand out of the face... mainland Europe have a lot of deserts?

PaulMarrow · Answer

I don't think they feel oppressed. They've got a lot of soft power in that culture and its generally women pushing this kind of thing. When I see it I think there goes a potential terrorist right there and I hope we get rid of these people, they have no business in our country.

lexythelou22 · Answer

If the woman is wearing it where it's not mandatory, I highly doubt she feels oppressed. I'm sick of the argument from racists like "she shouldn't be wearing that! I mean I'm not racist... But dont they have to wear it for their religion? They should stop wearing them all together!" Anything to force them to take it off, right? If you know someone who wears it in a place where she's not forced or expected to, you could always find a polite way to ask if she just truly wants to wear it.

UltimateGohan · Answer

I dont mean to hurt the culture of these women but they look like ninja's. please sorry if its hurting

yucel_eden · Answer

Headscarf is someone’s choice and relegion.

IN NOWHERE IN THE QURAN DOES IT MENTION A NIQAB.

A niqab is for sick twisted men to enforce rule over a woman.

It is not relegious. And it ain’t worn by muslims apart from in Saudi or the odd psycho.

For the record I’m from turkey. NIQAB doesn’t exist

HonestGirlAlways · Answer

It’s ridiculous. I honestly don’t care about what’s politically correct and I don’t care if it’s cultural. It’s ridiculous, obviously oppressive, and pointless.

TadCurious · Answer

Whether the individual woman wearing this thing feels personally oppressed or not, the whole idea behind that garment is based on a backwards view of women's identity and sexuality and is very oppressive.

oOsecret_starlandsOo · Answer

I see it as oppressive. Why can't a woman show her face? Even dogs dont have to cover theirs. A woman is lower than a dog.

19magic · Answer

I personally think it's oppressing, why can't women show their faces, why can't they show their hair. It makes no sense to me what so ever

SnapTsch · Answer

I Couldn't care less, but it is oppressive if she is not allowed to not wear it if she doesn't want to. Its fine as long as it is a choice, not when it a a rule or order.

RoastedCat · Answer

My first question would be why it's necessary. And my second question would be why it isn't better to fix the problems making it needed rather than caving into them.

piffmunoz · Answer

How about we stop judging women from other cultures because women in every area of every country are opressed. Thanks.

Anonymous · Answer

I feel bad for them. It looks uncomfortable and I would feel like I couldn't breathe. I can't even stand to cover my head with a blanket. But if they're cool wearing it, why should I care?

kingofthellamas · Answer

I think they are oppressed but sadly don't see it. They pass it off as their culture. (which is true, it's a culture of oppression!!)

Chaz269 · Answer

I'm opposed to it, personally, but if a woman chooses it, I have no say in the matter.

Jessington · Answer

I think they should respect other countries laws as they would expect their laws to be followed. Other than that i don't care what they do.

GetFragged · Answer

In an ideal society I think women should wear it, as we can see in western culture women have taken sexual liberation too far. It is in the everyman's interest for women to be chaste

AbigailFq · Answer

We are not oppressed in the slightest. We wear them to become closer to Allah and if more people understood the reality of the situation and why the niqab is a necessity, then you would find a lot more people wearing them.

MidnightCowboy · Answer

It's very sexist and this is not the 12th century anymore. It should be banned.

jacquesvol · Answer

This is an extreme version of a veil. Only the burqa is more extreme. I know a few women who wear a veil. They don't say they feel oppressed by it.

tafarimeskin · Answer

Live and let live. Personally it makes me feel uneasy when ANYONE has their face covered. So I just put them in the same club as those wearing balaclava in public.

madgoat · Answer

I don't like anything that obscures the face, personally.

Anonymous · Answer

In your own Country do what you like, in other Countries you shouldn't be allowed to cover your face for identification purposes. JMO

Amixen · Answer

I feel sorry for those who wearing a niqab.. It's just sucks

Assburgers2 · Answer

In my culture women don't wear such things so to me it seems that its part of a culture where people don't want to be recognized by outsiders.

100lbguy · Answer

I hate seeing this dress cuz it's doesn't make sense cuz it's a Saudi thing

MrZameer · Answer

Its good. and those who wear Hijab Niqab protect themselves from men's eyes.

krrish12 · Answer
